Why our clients continue to trust ISLG

“ISLG is a very powerful and useful tool. It is a cost-effective research tool that is a benefit to our practice. I would recommend it to any lawyer practicing in international arbitration. It is not a plus. It is a must!”

Professor Alvaro Galindo
International Counsel and Arbitrator/Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University Law Center

“ISLG is an unparalleled database of primary materials in investor state law and is supported by a powerful search engine. It is useful to practitioners and academics alike and equally practical for new and seasoned users. The lack of secondary material and the focus on primary sources focuses the mind to what really matters. Even when I have conducted my own independent research I always double-check with the ISLG database.”

Professor Loukas Mistelis
Clive M Schmitthoff Professor of Transnational Commercial Law and Arbitration, Queen Mary University of London

“ISLG is a phenomenal tool. It basically does the research for you! Powerful and easy to use, it makes getting to right answer much quicker. I love that there are so many ways to conduct research (by topic, rules, treaty, case). The subject-matter navigator is particularly useful at providing an overview of the case law regarding a specific issue. Highly recommended!”

Elisa Botero
Partner, Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP

"ISLG is your one-stop resource. No other database provides the researcher with so many effective and efficient ways to research and access treaties, rules of arbitration, decisions and awards, and other related documents."

Marci Hoffman
Lecturer in Residence/Director, Berkeley Law Library

“ISLG has made it easier and more cost-effective to research issues relating to investment treaty arbitration. The Jurisprudence Citator, which shows how specific decisions have been treated by subsequent investment treaty tribunals, is particularly useful.”
